I think there are enough Hondas and Acuras running high 14's these days for people to expect it. That doesn't seem very sleepy to me because most of them have tons of visible aftermarket parts on them.

The last thing I want to hear is people doing bolt-ons, painted parts, some minor weight reduction, and start calling their car a sleeper because it's riced and runs a half-second faster than it did when they bought it. Can we make this a rule? I hear "sleeper" inappropriately thrown around way too much.

It should at least be well-swapped or boosted, appear totally stock with the hood closed, and well-used. Once it's actually fast, mis-matched tires or hubcaps are a plus, so is rust. But wheel upgrades, chromed parts or any other look-at-me mods are strictly prohibited. Painted parts that aren't related to unfinished body repairs ruin it as well. Add some dirt and a "baby on board" sign (or winnie the pooh sunshade), maybe some AAA stickers, and it's ready to go.
